We avoid the term, because over the years the original meaning, “teacher or educator,” acquired an additional connotation, this one pejorative. Pedagogue also now can be used to refer to one who teaches in a pedantic or dogmatic or uninteresting manner, a teacher who pays too much attention to formal rules within his classroom. Once a word acquires an added pejorative definition, use of the word in its favorable meaning tends to die out. “Pedagogical methods,” a rather formal way of referring to teaching theory or the ways we teach, is still a popular phrase in educational circles, however. The origin of pedagogue is rather interesting. In ancient Greece, a personal slave-attendant accompanied a freeborn boy wherever he went. The “pedagogue” was usually an old and trusted slave of high character. He was in charge of the moral instruction of the child, and he was responsible for taking the boy safely to and from his tutor or teacher. The word, from Greek, literally means “one who leads a boy.” A question worth asking today is, “Who is leading your son to his teachers?” The best answer, of course, is that as his parents, you are. We cannot abdicate our roles as pedagogues to the music of our day or our media culture. The fortunate boy is the boy whose parents truly lead and guide, who set boundaries for him, who communicate the values of their family to him, who choose his teachers, who help him find the right kind of friends, who involve themselves in his life. At MUS, we believe, as you believe, that the primary responsibility for a boy’s moral instruction lies with his parents. The school can supplement, we can sharpen, we can aid in quickening his moral sensibility. And based on my observations over 34 years at Memphis University School, I believe that we do a good job of reinforcing the virtues that all of us esteem in men—honesty, responsibility, courage, perseverance, diligence, compassion. But what we do well we do well because the parents of MUS boys first have done their jobs well, and because they continue to do their jobs well. Our boys have learned those virtues at home, and they come to us well taught. Their parents, as caring and competent pedagogues, have led their boys to the teachers. A partnership between the school and parents, between pedagogues and teachers, provides the very best moral education a boy can have. At Memphis University School, we value the partnership we have with parents as we work together to produce strong moral character and the highest virtues possible in every boy. 2 Inside MUS Opening Doors For Boys For Over 100 Years Beg To Differ Blackett Receives Wins International National Achievement Recognition OOwlwl NNewsews Scholarship Beg To Differ, MUS’s renowned a cappella Senior Philip Blackett received an ensemble, was recently awarded a place on exceptional honor from the National Merit the Best of High School A Cappella (BOHSA) International Scholarship Corporation this year when he was presented with a Compilation CD.

Saunders, an entrepreneur and founder of Piggly Wiggly, began building the house in the early 1920's but, due to a legal dispute with the New York Exchange, he had to declare bankruptcy and the unfinished building was eventually given to the city in the late 1920’s for use as a museum.

Rather than another country, the 2019 Memphis in May Festival honors Memphis and Shelby County as both celebrate their bicentennials and the start of a new century for the city and county. Memphis has changed the world and will continue to change the world. We are a city of doers, dreamers, and believers.

With more than a million residents in its metro area, the City of Memphis is a city of authenticity and diversity where everyone is welcomed.
